This would almost be a funny caricature if it weren't so sad. Sadder still is the Oregonian's continued suppression of unpleasant facts surrounding 97 percent of the gang-related shootings and MAX/transit violence in Portland. Jesse and Al? Nowhere to be found of course - there's no money in this and it doesn't fit the standard narrative. Albina Ministerial Alliance? Same story. Vigil for Trayvon last week, how about a vigil or two over this type of thing, or a couple words about personal responsibility from someone in the African-American community?
